| - | CABG the most common type of heart surgery, is performed to improve blood flow into the heart. As seen in figure 10, this surgery is performed by connecting a healthy artery or vein from another part of your body such as from the leg, chest, or arm to the blocked coronary artery. The healthy artery or vein bypasses the blocked or narrowed part of the artery, thus providing a new pathway for oxygen-rich blood to flow to the heart. During CABG, the breastbone is divided and the heart is stopped to send blood through a heart-lung machine. It is important to note that bypass surgery will not cure coronary artery disease, but it will improve heart function and reduce the risk of dying of heart disease (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2016). After the surgery, it is important that the patient takes time to recover. During the recovery period, a patient may participate in a cardiac rehabilitation program under the direct supervision of medical professionals. | + | CABG the most common type of heart surgery, is performed to improve blood flow into the heart.

| As seen in figure 12, PCI, which is also known as coronary angioplasty, is a nonsurgical procedure often used to open blocked or narrow coronary arteries. The procedure requires cardiac catheterization which involves the insertion of a hollow tube (catheter) with a small inflatable balloon at its tip covered with a stent. The inserted balloon catheter then compresses the plaque and opens up the blocked artery. The inserted stent then remains in the artery holding it open (National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute, 2016). | As seen in figure 12, PCI, which is also known as coronary angioplasty, is a nonsurgical procedure often used to open blocked or narrow coronary arteries.

| Regular physical activity has been shown to improve symptoms and reduce mortality in patients with CAD. According to a study conducted in 2001, patients in the training group experienced fewer cardiac events and had a lower number of hospital readmissions. The total mortality of patients with CAD was found to be reduced by about 27% and 31%, as a result of the exercise training (Erbs, Linke & Hambrecht, 2006), (Jolliffe, Rees, Taylor, Thompson, Oldridge,& Ebrahim, 2001). | Regular physical activity has been shown to improve symptoms and reduce mortality in patients with CAD.
